Ive heard the Black Jesus thing over and over again, I just think its a joke really.
Read the bible, think about it. Jesus would of not been white. There are numerous reasons, more than I care to state. The fact is, the reason you think it\'s a joke is because all portraits are of a white jesus. Why is that? Simple, racism. It\'s a racism that most people don\'t even acknowledge. The foundation of most modern Christainity is based on a white-man\'s viewpoint and this includes a white Jesus. Was it black? Doubtful, more like \'tan skinned\' sort of like an Iraqi.
The problem really is as a culture, we have grown to accept Jesus as a white male. And now, most people can\'t fathom the idea that he may of not been white. It\'s a lot like the crucfixtion hands vs wrists debate. It took along time before people admitted all the portraits, necklaces and so on of Jesus\' crucfixation are inaccurate.
